Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS:[corrected] Hepatobiliary carcinoma (HBC) has been considered to be a late complication of end-stage primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The incidence of HBC is approximately 20% in PSC patients evaluated for liver transplantation. The diagnosis of HBC is difficult, at least at an early stage and the prognosis is poor even after liver transplantation. The aim of the study was to look for signs and risk factors for developing hepatobiliary carcinoma in patients with PSC. METHODS:Thirty-six consecutive patients with PSC and HBC (32 with bile duct carcinoma, BDC, and four with hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) were pair-matched to control patients referred for liver transplantation because of PSC but who did not have HBC. Gender and age at referral were used as matching factors. Clinical and biochemical data were registered. RESULTS:PSC patients with BDC had a shorter median duration of PSC (1 year) compared with the controls (7 years) and PSC patients with HCC (8 years). There were no statistically significant differences in the liver biochemistry between the patient groups. Varices were more common in patients with PSC and HCC (100%) than in controls (56%) or patients with PSC and HBC (12%) (P < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS:The relatively short duration of PSC and the absence of varices in patients with BDC suggest that BDC, unlike HCC, is not necessarily a late complication of end-stage PSC, as was previously assumed.
